Whats the difference between the Digital Breadboard and the Antenna Analyzer?
These two projects use the same hardware platform but just have different software loaded. We started out thinking that a downscaled Breadboard Kit would serve as the antenna analyzer that N2CX and I described at FDIM 2001 and in subsequent magazine articles. But we later determined that nearly each component of the Breadboard would serve us well in the analyzer project too! Thus, the hardware parts plus the dedicated Antenna Analyzer software program constitute the Antenna Analyzer Kit. Similarly, the hardware parts plus the more general purpose software program constitute the Digital Breadboard. This arrangement really is ideal for the owners of the Digital Breadboard Kit, in that all you need to do to turn it into an Antenna Analyzer is download a software program from the website and load it into the unit.
